Lapband date Jan 26, 2010



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone..

My name is Jennifer and I actually have been watching this forum for a while and am ready to be writing in it now...

I am getting my lapband on Jan 26, 2010 and am really excited and really focused on a lifelong change:thumbup:

I see lots of good folks in these threads and look forward to using the site for a long, long time.

I am 39 and although I am active, I am overweight and need some help to help myself... I really think this is a good tool for me and I wish I could get it right now....:biggrin:

I am a single mom of three kids and I just imagine how different our summer is going to be because mom is a bit more mobile....

I look forward to seeing everyone in the threads...

Jennifer

Hello Jen! Glad you decided to chime in here.

We love to give support here and the more to do this, the better the information is for those looking into the surgery. There are folks here at all stages, even those who are undergoing plastics at the end of their weight loss journey.

Being more mobile is the best thing I think as I’m halfway to goal. I know it will only get better from here!

Hope to see you around more. J

What is nice is that there are answers for everything which is great...

I think this is the best part of mentally staying in the game...

Luckily I don't have a huge amount to lose but I need the lifelong hand holding that the lapband can give me... just a gentle reminder to slow down, eat less and concentrate on why you are eating...

Just tonight I had dinner and all I could think about is that what I ate for dinnerr will soon be two days of meals soon... and that is a great feeling...

Working in the military for twenty years.. I am used to eating a lot but now that I have retired.. not moving as much as I did before...that and athritis and lupus weighing me down (again, no pun intended:);)

this is a great place for those folks that just want tons of info...

thanks again...

Jennifer

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
